Hi,
I got a new Dash 840. It comes with rapido couplers and I want to switch them to knuckle couplers.
This link shows the rapido couplers currently installed in the loco,as well as the spring and housing.

Could you guys please recommend how to do this and what parts do I need to buy? I actually lost the spring of one of the sides.
Thanks.
I have not tried the new Bachmann knuckle couplers so I don't know if or how they will retro-fit.
I've converted both mine to Micro-Trains couplers.
On my Dash 8-40C, I used a MT 1164
On my Dash 8-40CW, I used a MT 1168
Good luck
Thanks James. Just ordered the MT conversion kit.
Thanks!
